Movie Description
One cannot help but think of terrorist attacks while watching Stephen Spielberg's update of the classic sci-fi fantasy THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. While the H.G. Wells story dates back to 1898, and has inspired previous adaptations, this particular version feeds off its 21st century audience's fear of a terrorist-induced apocalypse. Even if the sight of tall buildings crumbling to the ground and crowds running fearfully away from their demise doesn't trigger post-9/11 paranoia, dialogue such as "Is it the terrorists?" will.


Disgruntled, divorced father Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) is struggling to connect with his estranged kids, who have been dropped off by their mother for the weekend, when a severe and unusual lightning storm leaves his New Jersey neighborhood powerless. Over the course of the next few hours, it becomes obvious that this was not a storm at all, but rather the first sign of a worldwide alien attack. Emerging from the ground in multi-legged tripod-like machines that have apparently been stored beneath the earth's surface since before man's time, these aliens begin the process of waging a long-planned war on our planet. While WAR OF THE WORLDS follows Ray's growing closeness with his two children (Dakota Fanning and Justin Chatwin) in the face of imminent disaster, and his transformation from lousy father to hero, their story is used mostly as a vehicle for illustrating an unending series of horrific scenarios. The human element of the story is also briefly explored with Tim Robbins's portrayal of a crazed, alien-fighting recluse. Sticking closely to Wells's original descriptions of alien warfare, the film focuses mainly on visuals and succeeds through impressive special effects to create two hours of thrilling, frightening, realistic terror.

Editorial Reviews
"Watching Steven Spielberg's spooky and playful remake of WAR OF THE WORLDS, you may feel a surge of childlike awe..."
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (07/08/2005)

"Effectively scary and visually impressive."
New York Times - A. O. Scott (07/29/2005)

"[The] road trip, by car and foot, inspires Spielberg to create extraordinary images of a frayed family in a frayed civilization."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (07/28/2005)

"Spielberg handles the action with practiced flair. There are even some uncharacteristically dark touches..."
Uncut - Edward Lawrenson (09/01/2005)

"The film delivers on spectacle, from the jarring initial appearance of an alien tripod breaking up through tarmac to the collapse of the war machines in post-holocaust Boston."
Sight and Sound - Kim Newman (09/01/2005)

"Steven Spielberg's summer blockbuster has knockout special effects, masterful cinematography, and terrifying and suspenseful sequences. Its explosive, non-stop action brings to mind SAVING PRIVATE RYAN's indelible opening battle sequence."
USA Today - Claudia Puig (07/01/2005)

3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Janusz Kaminski's icy-blue cinematography and John Williams's unusually discordant score underline the movie's sober reckoning of Armageddon..."
Premiere - Howard Karren (12/01/2005)

Ranked #2 in Rolling Stone's "Top 25 DVDs Of 2005' -- "Spielberg's technical mastery, especially with the Tripods -- aliens as nasty as E.T. was sweet -- is evident in every frame of this superior transfer."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (12/01/2005)

    Ah anyway, I'd like my money back please. What a stinker! Spielberg blew it with this one by once again making the meat and potatoes of the film take a back seat to some sort of dysfunctional family crisis resolution. If Cruise had been the only main character, if his character had been more of a hero-type, if they'd thrown out the whole family bit, this would've been a lot better. But they didn't.

      One Tom Cruise Worth Watching!
    Review created: 08/03/07
    10 of 12 people found this review helpful.

    I am a huge fan of disaster orientated movie and this one is no exception. The movie captivated me from beginning to end with nonstop action, spectacular effects and dazzling imagery. Of late Tom Cruise has made a spectacle of himself and in my mind has damaged my appreciation of him from his awesome early movies such as Risky Business and the like. Many movies of his in the last several years have been horrible such as Eyes Wide Shut and Vanilla Sky. This one however was a perfect 10. It is perhaps a great pair to Independence Day as this one was based on the common people story rather than being based with military side of things. Thanks for reading!
